Apparently, Miami’s reputation as Vice City worried Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford just a little too much. Rather than having his team spend two free days in this tempting city of sin between playoff games, he flew his young team back to Charlotte…
Sunday’s postseason opener answered one of the few questions some had about this Miami Heat team. Yes, Dwyane Wade is OK. And yes, he was taking names of everyone slandering him as he rested this season. Wade shot 10-16 for 23 points in 34 minutes, helping the Heat turn a…
Welcome back to the three most stressful months of your life, it’s time to basketball. The NBA Playoffs have finally arrived and the Miami Heat are right where you expected them to be, firmly cemented as the odds-on favorite to repeat as World Champions. A less than dominant regular season…
The NBA Playoffs begin Sunday for the Miami Heat against the Charlotte Bobcats, and lord knows it’s not their first time at the dance. It will be the team’s 18th appearance in their relatively young 26-year history. That of course has led to a lot of dramatic playoff moments. Here…
The Miami Heat may be entering the NBA playoffs as a second seed, but they’re tops in another set of standings. For the sixth time, LeBron James’ jersey was the top seller in the league. The Miami Heat, meanwhile, sold more merchandise this season than any other team…
Mercifully, the Heat’s regular season came to an end Wednesday night with a 100-87 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Heat loss means Miami finishes the season with a 54-28 record, 12 games worse than last season’s franchise record 66-win campaign. With the second seed in the East locked up…
The Marlins surprising 5-1 start had us feeling positively optimistic. Maybe this season wouldn’t be a slow, painful march to MLB irrelevance. Maybe, just maybe, this would be the first season the team actually lost a playoff series! Sadly, reality has set back in. The team is in the midst…
We’re number two! We’re number two! The Miami Heat clinched the second seed in the Eastern Conference with last night’s 114-93 loss to the Washington Wizards, a terrific feat for most teams, but not so much a reason to celebrate for your defending back-to-back NBA champions. If resting LeBron James…
Sometimes after going through a dark, dramatic period, nothing can do wonders like a brand-new wardrobe. Apparently, that was the Miami Hurricanes and Nike’s thinking as they unveiled a new set of uniforms this weekend. Similar to other special-edition uniforms the team has worn in recent years, the full set…
Continuing what’s become something of a tradition, the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders are back lip synching for their lives, and this time they really, really, really wanna zigga-zag-ah. Yes, even though its the middle of spring 2014, the ladies have already shot their 2015 calendar at a resort in the Dominican…
It just can’t ever be easy, can it? Wednesday night, the Heat dropped a second straight game, 107-102. The loss, combined with the Indiana Pacers’ win against the Milwaukee Bucks last night, means the Heat now holds the second seed in the East heading into the biggest game of the…
If you lose your wallet in Miami, it’s not uncommon never to get it back, and if you do, there might be a little something missing. Some people are not above taking a finder’s fee. However, not everyone is terrible. A young fan who lost his wallet at Marlins Park…
Controversy! For the third time this season, the Brooklyn Nets beat the Miami Heat. Last night the Nets won by a single point, thus sweeping the season series four games to none. But not without debate. With the Heat trailing by one, Miami had one frantic last chance to pull…
Just another lazy Sunday afternoon. Just another dominating performance by LeBron James. Just another Knicks loss. Like they say, all totally predictably awesome things come in threes. This past Sunday, LeBron James continued to put the shorthanded Heat on his back by scoring 38 points, along with five rebounds and…
During the 2005 offseason the Dolphins traded Brendon Ayanbadejo to the Bears. he went on to have three consecutive Pro Bowl seasons and would eventually win a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens. The Dolphins meanwhile would endure a season of mediocrity under Nick Saban. Well, Ayanbadejo seems to think…
Miami has the Dolphins Heat Marlins, the greatest baseball team? The Marlins 8-5 comeback victory over the Colorado Rockies Thursday afternoon means your favorite little local baseball club has started the season 3-1, their best start since they began the 2009 season 4-0. I don’t know what to do with…
On Tuesday, LeBron James released a freestyle rap. Last night, he released the frickin’ kraken on the entire Bucks’ buttocks. On numerous occasions in the first half, LeBron unleashed some of the best dunks you will see all year, flying, reversing, and tomahawking his way to the rim seemingly whenever…
Something weird happened at Marlins Park on Monday. People actually showed up. The stated attendance was 37,116, though the actual butts-in-the-seat number was about 35,000. Still impressive by Marlins standards. But it appears that the team just isn’t ready when fans actually show up. The wait for concession food was…
After last week’s loss to the Pacers, most people assumed the race for the first seed was over. Many predicted it would be very likely the Heat would just turtle into some sort of pre-playoff cocoon, content with the second seed in the East. Last Wednesday’s loss to the Pacers…
Some MLB team’s fan bases cover entire states if not large regions of the country. Most are at least the most popular team in every county in their home metro-area. Of course, the Marlins are not like most MLB teams. The Fish have one of the smallest geographical fan footprints…
What began with a Twitter campaign ended with LeBron James realizing the dreams of 16-year-old cancer patient Ebony Nettles-Bey. She’s a star high school basketball player from Milwaukee who was blindsided last October with a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Her teammates decided to cheer her up by starting a Twitter…
Meet your new and improved 2014 Miami Marlins! Now with 100 percent less Logan Morrison but with the same great taste! As Marlins fans get ready for tonight’s home opener against the Rockies, they really should be used to the drill. The Ponzi scheme that was owner Jeffry Loria’s 2012…
